Chapter Ninety-Four: The Bauhinia King's Capital
Suddenly a light rain fell from the sky, pounding on the sea, and Wallace sat in the cabin room, watching the fish leap above the sea level through the small glass window.
Suddenly, several warships flying the flag of the Kingdom Navy frightened away the fish and came to him, and after a while, a busy harbor came into view.
Helder, as the seaport city closest to the royal capital of Bauhinia, everyone who takes a boat to the royal capital will choose to transfer to the steam train to the royal capital in Helder.
After the steamer stopped at Helder's harbor, Wallace disembarked with Archbishop Martin Solrier in purple and took a horse-drawn steam carriage to the station of the steam train.
Five minutes later, the two arrived at the station of the steam train, although it was a bit remote, but it was full of traffic, which showed that most people like to take the steam train.
Although it did not rain at the Helder train station, the howling wind blew the already hurried passengers.
Wallace and the Purple Cardinal also followed the crowd and stopped, and Wallace looked around, it was crowded, and the entire waiting hall was filled with noise, chatter, and complaints.
As for the tickets, they were bought by the Purple Archbishop, and after a while, the two entered the platform and waited for the steam train to enter the station.
Wallace looked in the direction of the steam train, but he didn't seem to see the rear of the train, and after the steam train stopped, the two followed the crowd and stepped on the steam train to the Bauhinia King's capital.
Thick white smoke rose from the front of the steam locomotive, dragging a dozen wagons, like a black dragon, speeding through the forest on the plain.
"Martin Sorier, how long will it take to get to the Bauhinia King's Capital?"
Wallace looked at the scenery outside the window and asked without looking back.
Archbishop Martin Solrier thought for a moment and looked at him and said, "Helde and King Bauhinia are separated by half a county, about two hours. ”
"Oh, I see, then I'll squint for a while, and remember to call me when it's time. ”
After Wallace finished speaking, he closed his eyes directly, but he was secretly thinking about other things in his heart.
Since he will be canonized as a duke, which county will the Bauhinia King give him to establish a grand duchie?
He was sure that it was definitely not a good place, it was estimated that it would be a place where borders with other countries, and the northern part of the Bauhinia Kingdom bordered the Lion Empire, and the southeast of the kingdom was Hanlun Telun County, which was located in the overseas archipelago.
To the southwest of the Bauhinia Kingdom is the Silver Moon Elf Federation, and directly south of the kingdom is the Orc Empire.
But the northern part of the Bauhinia Kingdom is certainly impossible, and as far as Wallace knows, the Duke of Edinburgh has been stationed here for generations, which means that only Ballina County in the southwest, Göttingen County in the south, and Hanlunterun County in the southeast remain.
Wallace felt that the kingdom should give him the title of Hanlun Telun County, after all, he was the chief police governor here, so it would be better to take over here.
Moreover, Hanlun Telun County is the smallest county in the Bauhinia Kingdom, as the most remote place, the territory is small, and there are few people, and it is not easy to threaten the rule of the kingdom, and the mechanical church is not bad for these believers.
After Wallace established the Grand Duchy in Hanlun Telun County, he could also withstand the attacks of the Deep Dive Tribe and the rest of the overseas tribes, saving the Bauhinia Kingdom a lot of military and police expenses every year.
not only fulfilled the kingdom's stipulation that the demigod was crowned duke, but also gave Wallace the face of the demigod (although the kingdom and the church did not know that he was a false demigod), so that Wallace could defend the Bauhinia Kingdom against the evil gods of the deep diving tribe.
It can be said that it ensures the safety of the interior of the kingdom, saves a lot of money, and reduces the annual financial expenditure of the kingdom, so why not do it.
As everyone knows, in the royal palace of the Bauhinia Kingdom, the nobles and ministers are also having a heated discussion in the main hall about Wallace's knighthood.
"Great King, Göttingen County is better, due south of the kingdom is the Orc Empire, in recent years these lawless orcs have been invading Göttingen County, always plundering food and population.
The kingdom invests a lot of military funds here every year, as well as a lot of manpower and material resources, and placing this demigod in Göttingen County can also deter the orc empire and reduce the burden on the empire. ”
Suddenly, an earl wearing a gold and silver crown inlaid with eight silver balls and a crimson velvet coat stood up and spoke.
Immediately afterwards, a marquis opposite him took the case and directly objected: "No, Göttingen County is too big, and one Göttingen County is as big as three Hanlun Terun counties."
Although Göttingen County has always been infested by the Orc Empire, it is also the main source of food for the kingdom, and it should never be given to Wallace, the new demigod.
In contrast, it is more suitable to take the county of Hanlun Telun, which is the smallest place, has few inhabitants of the kingdom, is not yet a productive land, and has long been invaded by overseas tribes.
Hanlun Telun County is not important to the kingdom, the kingdom is far inland, it can be described as a chicken rib, the food is tasteless, it is a pity to abandon it, and it is just right to hand it over to him. ”
Suddenly, a marquis with a fief in the west of the kingdom stood up suddenly, looked at everyone and said loudly: "If you want me to say it, give him Ballina County, the Silver Moon Elf Federation has been blocking our caravan recently, preventing the caravan from entering the Elf Federation trade, and these half-elves have been fighting the idea of the Great Forest of Ballina, and the forest of Ballina County accounts for one-third, which is not much bigger than Hanlunterun County!"
"Hanlun Telun County!"
"Göttingen-shire is a must!"
"A mere earl, what do you know!"
"You're not right, I'm the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and I think Ballina County is the most suitable!!"
In an instant, there was another quarrel in the entire hall, and these nobles and ministers were all blushing and thick-necked.
"Alright! Alright, all of you, stop arguing! I've made up my mind!!"
King Bauhinia, who sat on the top throne, spoke.
In an instant, the entire hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the Bauhinia King who was sitting at the top.
After looking at these nobles and ministers, King Bauhinia squinted his eyes and said slowly:
"Just seal out the county of Hanlun Telun, as for his duke title, he is called Duke Scarlett, it just so happens that Princess Alyssa is also an adult, and marrying the duke is not wronged her, and the marriage is so decided. Knighthood in the morning, marriage in the evening, just done together, let's go down and prepare. ”
"Yes!"
All the nobles and ministers replied in unison, and then they left the hall in an orderly manner.
At this moment, Wallace and the purple-clothed archbishop were chatting in the steam train.
Wallace frowned and asked, "Martin Soryll, do you know where the Great Southern Forest is?"
"Is that the Great Southern Forest with the remains of the Arcane Empire?" the purple-clothed archbishop asked rhetorically.
"Yes!"
